The Grand Theft Auto series - it was fun for a while to escape the cops. However after the 3rd installment, things just got ugly.

Honestly after Vice City, this series should have been banned. The language got worse and the crude violence is just there to get 'your kick's in'.

Absolutely disgusting, and reflects modern day society and pop culture in such an negative light.

Hmmm GTA is a great game, very clever, very meticulously thought out but agree to a certain extent here - I do wonder about the impression it will make on young men, especially teenage boys regarding violence and treatment of women.

I have numerous 'highly rated/recommended games in my collection that I just cannot get into. Most are games I missed or wasn't too sure about so I bought them when they were going cheap (most of them on PC via the steam sales).

Borderland 2
Skyrim
Portal
Half life
Oblivion
Counter strike
L4D/L4D2

The list goes on and on.

I just end up getting bored with them. most of them have been uninstalled now and will remain that way.

no no no they get better and better. yes you can pick ladies of a certain profesion and that should have be cut, but it causes controversy that makes head lines and nothing better than free publicity. I think in gta v I spent more time just flying around taking in the sights. Can't wait the the ps4 version.
And as for language it never bothered me, words don't hurt people.

I also think blaming games for people's behaviour is just a cop out. I've played every type of game and never once has it influenced me or twisted my view towards others. In my youth it was horror films that twisted the young.

GTA V, a game that nearly everyone talks about, highly rated and recommended so I borrowed it and it's utter shi.......not to my liking lol

The one thing you would hope makes an impression on young players is its bloody dangerous to drive and try to use the phone at the same time

well ye each to their own and all that. people were saying how great forza was so I got it and yes its ok, but I just can't get onto it.

People have a tendency to big things up too much, especially when it comes to exclusives. When you finally get around to playing the game you are left wonder why those people made all the fuss in the first place.

Yeah I know they are massive games and I have tried. It interested me that folk spent 100s of hours on fallout 3, so I bought it. I only lasted a few hours at most. Just couldn't get into it.

Exactly the same. I actually bought it again a while after selling it because I thought I must have been missing something but I'd be bored to death playing this for 100 hours. I really like the idea of being able to roam a post-apocalyptic world but the controls and gameplay left a lot to be desired for me.

GTA V seems to get a lot of praise but I didn't think it was that great and the online was very poor.

red dead redemption i just don't get it i played about 10 hours of this and achieved nothing it went no where. spent most of my time riding a horse to get to places. everybody who i know who's played it loves it, just dont see what they see in it

i've always thought RDR was overrated too. max payne 3 seemed to get a lot of praise when it came out 2 years ago. i thought it was garbage and no way near as good as the first two. GTA 4, GTA 5 are overrated too. also metal gear solid

GTA San Andreas was superb. but all these GTA games are pretty much the same. play some sort of player who needs money and do mission after mission. i wasn't all that impressed with gta 4 or 5. i doubt they'll ever beat SA as that game had it all. i wouldn't miss these games if they stopped making them.

Halo series - although it would appear I'm not alone in that.
Borderlands series - just couldn't get into it whatsoever.
Gears of War - found it dull.
Killzone series - a soul-less experience.
Mario Kart - again leaves me cold.
Mario platformers - I can't stand Mario

Mario Kart, APART from the new one. Which is odd really. Never got on with any of the others, but this new one is actually quite fun. The rest just left me nonplussed at people bouncing up and down with excitement whilst playing them.
Metal Gear Solid. Just let Kojima make a film and get it out of his system. Then when it's dreadful maybe he'll just stop, and concentrate on novel gameplay mechanics instead of tiresome cutscenes.
Didn't get Skyrim at all. Fallout - awesome. Skyrim - Meh.

Yes I've had them all plus all addons and DLC, and loved them apart from modern warfare it was crap, if you liked bf2 you should like bf4, Gulf if Oman is brill, but it was always my favourite map om bf2

I was classing Battlefield 1942 as Battlefield 1 as it was the first game.

I haven't played them all but I did play and enjoy 1942, 2 and 2142. I however didn't like the bad company spin off which put me off the series. If I see the forth one on offer I will give it a go.
